I am the shadow...  
THE 'TRUE SELF' MEME



"In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts.

Everyone has another side to them that they keep hidden away, feelings they bottle up to save face or avoid conflict. But what if those feelings take a life of their own...?

Perhaps it's your best friend, a close family member, a hated enemy, or maybe it's just a complete stranger. No matter who it is, they are different now, possessing creepy yellow eyes, a distorted voice, and a disconcerting aura. Take care in what you say to them, though, because there are three little words that will set them off into an unstoppable rage...


How to:
Step 1: Post as your character with their name and canon.
Step 2: Others respond stumbling onto your character.
Step 3: WHOOPS. Character A has been replaced by their Shadow or Other Self!
Step 4: Play out the encounter! Will you start an epic boss fight? Have a pleasant chat? Or maybe just flat out ignore them? Run wild!

Reunion Meme  
The Forced Separation/Reunion Meme


Your characters have been forced apart- be it by destiny, circumstance, or death. The only thing that's certain? It wasn't voluntary. Now, thanks to chance, luck, or fate, you meet again.

Tag with your character. Include name/series/preferences in subject line.
Roll RNG to determine the duration/cause of the separation.
Play out the separation, the reunion, or both.
Be excellent to each other.



Length

1. One Week
2. Two Weeks
3. One Month
4. Six Months
4. One Year
5. Five Years
6. Ten Years
7. A Lifetime

Reason

1. Death - One of you died- or that was the general consensus, anyway. Whether you've been brought back or you were never really dead in the first place, who can say? All we know for sure is you're alive and kicking- more or less.

2. Argument - The two of you had a falling out, a fatal difference in opinion that resulted in the more or less permanent parting of ways. Now, time has passed. Maybe you see things a little differently?

3. Torn Apart - Neither of you wanted to be split up, but circumstances beyond your control have forced you apart. Parents, demons from hell, a job change, whatever it was, there was absolutely no stopping it. Just when it seemed like you'd never see them again- there they are.

4. Lost - You've been wandering on your own for so long, displaced and confused, with no real memory of how you got there. Somehow, through sheer dumb luck or the assistance of a stranger, you've been put back on the right path.

5. Life - Who can really tell when it happened? People just grow differently. At some point, you fell out of touch, missed a few phone calls, whatever it was, life got in the way, and they drifted out of your life almost without your noticing it.
